[Misc] Back to the 70s

[wellquickwoody]

I know……….fashion goes in cycles etc etc, what goes around comes around blah blah……….

But the state of this! White flares with printed/spangly bits, possibly with a matching shirt. Really? Maybe just a Liverpool thing.
Did Worthington, Best, Bowles etc ever really look so preposterous whilst trying to look cool?

Did you miss the Tom Davies and Calvert-Diver fashion shoot in NYC?

 

[wellquickwoody]

Thankfully yes!

70’s flares were stylishly narrow to the knee though.

 

[Guinness Boy]

I thought this was going to be another Brexit thread.

 

[ozzygull]

Photo's of people in the 70s makes me think there was a lack of haidressers in the decade. I am just please I was a child then so was not responsible for the way I looked.

On the street the kids are back to the 90s, with flared/bootcut jeans and combat trousers back in fashion.

I am unsure who this band is, but the poor fellow to the left appears to have had an unfortunate accident.

Ah, that probably explains why there are twenty three Turkish hairdressers in Southwick and three in every village now then.

I escaped with a short back and sides. Until 1979...

Ta, never been a fan but should give them a listen.

Yep had a similar haircut, hated it, so much so I took to wearing a tea cosy...
me back of St Andrews, Portslade, no cool shirt for me either, just a hand knitted jumper that was itchy as hell...

Never as ichy or scratchy as the worsted wool trousers I was subjected too. The 70s has much to answer for.

Listen to one track and then play it 10 times, it will be like listening to an album.
I was a fan when i was at school but can’t listen to them now…..don’t know why TBH.

I remember being on a 2 week course in Darlington in 1977, still can't believe I got into disco's wearing White jeans and being under age?

I used to hate those trousers. I was forced to wear them at every family event with a shirt and and an unmatching tank top, hair glued in place with Cossack spray.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

I would have killed for a pair of very tight 24 inch flared jeans in 1974 - except my Mum flatly refused to buy them for me because she said they looked ridiculous.

And she was right - they did. Which was the whole point.

The history of flares - in pictures

Flared trousers have been around a long time, but only one decade really embraced them: the 1970s. Here we look back at the bell-bottomed days of yore
